Before: the decision log had a template and a README describing it, but nothing checked records against them. Dates used Jekyll's 2026-01-01 09:00:00 -0800 form.

After: nps verify.adrs fails when a record's file name, front matter keys, adr_name, status, dates or template headings (order, level, a required Decision) are off. It also fails when the README table disagrees with the records, lists a record twice, or the numbering has a gap. It runs in verify.all, so on every pull request. Dates are RFC 3339 (2026-01-01T09:00:00-08:00) in every record, the template and the README, with each instant unchanged.

The rules live in build/shared/adr.mts and are covered by 24 unit tests. The check refuses the old date form, a missing offset, and dates that don't exist, like 30 February, which Date.parse quietly rolls over. Headings and index rows are parsed by hand rather than with a regex, because the obvious patterns backtrack in quadratic time on a line of spaces (CodeQL flagged that on the first push).

How: a new shared module and verify task, following the pattern of the existing ones, plus README prose stating the new rules and why.

Fixes #644
Fixes #693

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds shared validation for ADR records and README index entries, plus a task that runs the checks. It updates ADR timestamp examples and metadata to RFC 3339 format, documents the validation requirements, and adds package script and export entries.

Changes

ADR validation and verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
ADR record format and validation
build/shared/adr.mts, build/shared/adr.test.mts, doc/adr/000*.md, doc/adr/template.md
The shared module validates record filenames, front matter, timestamps, and body headings. Tests cover accepted and rejected records. The template and existing records use RFC 3339 timestamps.
README index validation
build/shared/adr.mts, build/shared/adr.test.mts, doc/adr/README.md
The module parses index rows and checks record titles, statuses, missing entries, and gapless numbering. Tests cover index discrepancies. The README documents the index and record requirements.
Run ADR verification
build/tasks/verify/verify-adrs.mts, package-scripts.yml, package.json
The verification task checks ADR records and, when record checks pass, the README index. It reports problems and sets a failing exit code. Package configuration adds the task script and shared module export.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7a30d

Duplicate ADR index rows can pass verification, but this is a narrow documentation-validation gap. The change is mergeable with a follow-up to reject duplicates.

Comment thread build/shared/adr.mts
The decision log has a template and a README saying how a record is
laid out, and nothing that holds a record to either. A record could
drop a front matter key, misspell a status, move its headings around
or disagree with the index table, and the only one to notice would be
whoever next copied it as an example.

`verify.adrs` now checks each record in `doc/adr/`: that it is named
`NNNN-slug.md`, that its front matter has exactly the five keys with
`adr_name` matching the number and `status` one of the four the README
names, that the template's headings it keeps are in the template's
order and at its levels, and that it has a `Decision`. It also checks
the README's table lists every record under its own title and status,
and that the numbers run from 0001 without a gap. It runs with the
rest of `verify.all`, so on every pull request.

`date` and `updated` are now RFC 3339 timestamps, such as
`2026-01-01T09:00:00-08:00`. The records used the form Jekyll accepts,
`2026-01-01 09:00:00 -0800`, which is no standard and which other
parsers read differently or not at all. Each record, the template and
the README's example are converted with the instant unchanged, and the
check refuses the old form, a missing offset and a date that does not
exist, which `Date.parse` would otherwise roll over into the next month.

Headings and index rows are read by hand rather than by regular
expression, because the obvious patterns for both backtrack in
quadratic time on a line of spaces.

The README states the new rules and the reasons for them.
